Damn. Frikkin excellent job! I'm so glad I saw this! I'm a 53yr old woman with back problems with no help and not enough $$ to pay someone to do this. My home is fine. I wanna put a gutter on my patio overhang and a rain barrel. Small job. I think I can do it. After watching this, I'm sure of it. I already have the tools. Thank you!
Listened to other videos that just didn't cut the cake. This one was straight to the chase. Got to listen to someone who starts off with an F-Bomb meter.(absolutely brilliant!)
I am a retired Sheetmetal guy. I was getting ready to slam this guy , however he surprised me. He did a good job. Please don’t use those awful gutter connectors that the big box stores sell, do exactly what this guy did and lap the joints together. Don’t use the 1st downspout he showed you use the 2nd way he showed you. Great video for a dyi he did a good job.
@@matthewlis1119 he was going to slam the guy for using the connection but redeemed himself by saying it is not the best way and showing the better way. Both times. That's what I got.
@@otallono it appears that people can infer different meanings from the same thing. The guy said he did it the right way and complemented the video after explaining his initial reaction.

I own a rain gutter business, I thought oh brother here we go, to my surprise this is exactly how we would do it if we needed to use seams. Great job on the video
2 feet may be the recommendation, but this kind of screw-based support should be screwed into something solid, like the end of a rafter, so they also should be aligned to whatever you plan to screw into.
The only item that he didn't mention is that when assembling your downspout run. Make sure to put each place INTO the next piece working from the gutter to the ground. This allows for water to flow without any restriction or possibility of escaping at the join between each elbow / extension. As a professional contractor, I approve of this video!
This is how all DIY tutorials should be done. Answered every question I had about this task. A little more complicated than I thought it would be, but definitely doable. Thank you so much!
I'm a long time DIYer, and this video was fantastic! I put together a 37' long section of gutter using these methods and it worked like a charm - my son and I walked it up two ladders, screwed it in along our chalked line, and when we dumped a bucket of water in one end, it ran out clean in mere seconds! Thanks so much for this amazing video - glad I found it.
I am a former high end remodeler, now in sales and back watching remodeling, auto mechanics and other DIY interested videos is a hobby. First I’ve seen of yours and was very informed and given insights we might not know until experienced. You’ve take Away many of those concerns. I subscribe and look forward to your next set a Videos.
Thank you so much for this awesome video. Just finished installing new gutters by watching this 7 minute video. You literally covered everything that was important to know. Love videos like this. Short, to the point, very educational. Keep up the awesome work! Thanks again!!
You ARE the bomb. I need a length of gutter on one side of the house, where the peaks force rain to run off in one area, beating up on my lawn and creating craters after a heavy rain. Using a professional for what amounts to about 40 feet of gutter seems excessive, so your video is the perfect solution! Thanks to you, I KNOW I've got this.
Definitely saved me at least 2 F Bombs. Great tips I never knew about the downspout insert and avoiding the joiners by cutting back the gutter and sliding the other one in. Brilliant ! Thanks
My wife and I installed 36 feet of gutters using the methods taught in this video. It was just under $300 in material (including the Hoover Dam Leaf Guard (which was much needed for our yard). It took us 8 hours, because we had to work around our toddler's needs, but if you don't have little ones to tend to you could get through this type of project pretty quickly. This video was extremely helpful - thanks man!
You over paid for your material. 36 feet of gutter is no more than 45 bucks and with down spouts and brackets and end caps and out let your looking at 80 bucks tops.
@@clearnoisesounds4390 ... seems in your reply u misplaced the 'leaf guards' which no one was a given a clue how much they cost em - which - as many would agree - was a good thing.
@@nemesisxrox6773 smh dude shut up ok. I'm a sheet metal installer and metal roofer and a gutter installer been doing it for ten damn years. You only need them if you're property is covered by trees. And gutters screens run 60 bucks a box for 20 pieces. Don't say shit if u don't know shit
Nice job! The first gutter installation video I've watched that a) didn't gloss over the cutting to length piece and b) suggested a tool that is not nearly as frustrating as a hacksaw and aviation snips! I like the idea of not using the slip joints. I'd rate it 10 of 10 for information and clarity. Thanks!
Dude!!!!! That was fantastic! I'm putting up a basic gutter system on my house and needed to know the basics and you covered everything quickly and clearly with no stupid chipmunk autotune music and no uneeded extra "look what else I know" garbage. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!
Excellent video. I am a retired EE and do a lot of repairs for myself and others, so I have watched many UA-cam videos. This one covers all the important points of gutter installation, is easy to understand and has great camera presentation. I give it my highest rating.
WOW. Went into this thinking how good can it be at < 7 minutes. Well, pretty f-bomb'n good. Straight into it with no fluff. UA-cam needs more to follow this model!
I once saw a 30 second video on how to fix the shaky, loose refrigerator door handle that I had and thought the same thing....it's amazing what can be accomplished when you don't add filler talk.
Great video. Thank you. One observation, advice and installation are good and correct, comment that gutter must go behind drip edge would highlight an important installation step.
I am not usually a gutter man but was convinced to do this for one of my landscape clients. After watching this i am a lot more confident about doing this myself. Thanks brother
Excellent video. I've been looking at a lot of videos on how to install gutters. They were not very detailed or took 20 minutes of wasted time and still was not cleared on everything. I dont know how I came across your video, but I am so glad I did. With your video I'm sure I can complete this project. Thank you!!
I am a senior citizen and have done many things in my home including plumbing by watching these videos, however, even though this is a very straightforward and understandable method, I think I will have to give someone else the job, but I hope he does as good a job as you.
Agree with other comments that this is one of THE BEST instructional videos I've ever seen. You showed all the important steps and the ways NOT to do things, which is just as important as the proper methods you used. Thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle my project.
Dude you saved the day! I had struggled half a day to get up one tiny section of gutter and was very close to tearing the whole thing down and calling the professionals in. Luckily I found your video though! The rest of the project went much smoother and with fewer F-bombs and WTF’s!? By the way, another of benefit of not using those gutter connectors is that there’s a lot fewer seems to seal. It really makes a huge difference both time- and caulk-wise.
, great video for a simple easy way of doing this job,, no need to hire someone, watched it a couple times so as not to forget anything,, wish all DIY videos were this easy to follow.. thx
As a contractor, a couple of observations or additions to this well done concise video: 1) Don't use clear silicon. You can't see it and DIY's never wipe it completely clean in visible areas. In 6 months the result is silicon (in visible areas) full of dust and dirt that does not clean well, it only flakes off. Silicon also has a different sheen if you paint it that becomes very visible after ageing. Take the extra time to COMPLETELY wipe off silicon caulking in visible/paintable areas, you will be glad you did. 2) The type of hangers used here force the drip edge out too far when tucking gutter underneath (metal gutters only). Not really covered in this well-done concise video. I have had better success with ferrule type hangers. Everything lays flush when tucked under drip edge, although they are a bit harder to install. 3) Overlap and use grinder metal cut-off wheel just like video. I use my (10 y/o) $15 Harbor Freight grinder for everything. I get lots of laugh on my job sites at the things I use it on. I have notched 2x4's before. LOL. Be careful of heat and sparks, of course, it is an abrasive type tool. It is well worth it if you don't have one. Metal shears always leave artifact on corners etc. and should be filled down. 4) Galvanized self-tapping metal screws work excellent if you do not have rivet tool. This eliminates the pre drilling of holes..
I have watched several how to install gutter videos this morning and yours is by far the best. Using a cut off wheel sure beats a hack saw or Sawzall like I see on other videos. And overlapping at the splices seems much stronger than the little splice joints. Thanks for a great video!
I pretty much agree with everything. The top guy said, except I’ve personally use more sealant at in cabs and sanded out create the best seal. Have never had a call back.
7 MINUTES seems like it will be kind of long until you watch this video and see it packs tons of helpful info and techniques in, & the video is actually fast-paced.Excellent, excellent video! Shows many great tips that make install easier & finished system much better. I have searched a wide spread of other videos trying to find the kinds of tips in here.No, I don't know this person :-) just sure appreciate what he's put together here!
When it comes to DYI I don't know my foot from a hole in the ground. This video was very helpful to me as my father-in-law needed some repairs on his gutter system. Following the install allowed me to troubleshoot his system and identify weak areas that were the cause of his leaks. Thanks for the information and keep up the good work!
Like everybody else said this is a nice clean well-edited video without needless chitchat. I was just about to start my gutters and I thought I knew how to do it until I watch this. Save me time and money. Good job.
Great video! So glad I came across it! Lots of great tips. We’ve done lots of home improvement projects over the last 40 yrs but this will be our first attempt at a gutter. After watching your video I’m confident we can get it done without a lot of “F’s”. LOL! Thanks very much!
What I liked about this he got right down to the basics. He told the method, the reason, and how to do it. He did not say a lot of BS that we don't want to hear. This is how to make these DIY vids.
I have a single wide mobile home that I want to add gutters on. I only need 1 side of the house done with gutters. If I put 1 whole 65ft of gutter length, can angle 📐 the gutters from the center point which would be the middle of the house? Then slope downwards towards each end of the house?
Man the best video short as possible to the point and even flirting the extra details of the rivet gun and the snipers versus cutting it with your blade. And I loved the way you slide the pieces together instead of using a piece to steam together. You rock . The F bomb rating is freaking awesome yeah I love it also
I was just trying to shove those connectors into one piece, pain. I am just running a 10 and 8' and downspout. This is for our deck that I have a corrugated roof over. Its 90 out today so I stopped to go in the house for a pop and UA-cam, and there you were. I watched and learned about your joining method, so I tried it. At first I thought I cut it wrong but after joining it was correct. Nice to find an application for the pop rivets. Thanks. Glad I just re-watched, I would have cut that gutter piece, whoops!
After watching your presentation I find that you are the best of all that I watched. After an hour or two I discovered that too many hacks are posting how to do it .(including this old house, a joke) Thanks
well done, explained in brief yet clear manner. I especially appreciated his recommendation of using lap joints rather than the available joint sections which as he pointed out are harder to seal.
Just had Leafguard come to my house and quote me gutters. Anywhere between $7,000 and $17,000 depending on how much stuff and how quick I said yes. lol. Either way, it was way more than I thought gutter cost. Insanity. Love your video. I'll be doing myself!
The "f bomb" rating is useful heehee I had an estimate from a big box store this morning, diy will save at least $1400. Thank you, very clear directions and good tips about the connections. I will do it that way.
BTW, If my memory is correct from a project years back, you can hide that ugly cut edge on the overlap by sliding the cut edge inside the other section. You just have to be aware of getting the overlap with the direction of water flow. But this is a great tip for those who have not tried this, gutter is much more stable without the crappy factory connector. Save money on connectors and do it the way he shows.
I like the lap method which resulted in a strong connection. I just did the cut on the downhill lapped piece to hide the cut even more. It turned out fine.
Thank you so much for this because we are connecting our gutters like you did with out the inserts and this is a good example how to do it Appreciate your video
Thanks for an extremely useful video. I have seen a lot of home improvement videos (a lot) and this one checks all the boxes--clean audio, listenable presenter, tight editing, no wasted time, and unique tips: I much prefer this joining technique to a slip seam. Also, useful to see rivets and self-tapping screws compared side-by-side. I will start sending other DIY UA-camrs to this video as an example. (Maybe not, but conceptually.)
So glad I found your video. I was struggling with those silly connections for the gutters. Cutting one gutter then sliding them together was an awesome suggestion. Just wish I didn't paint the connections I already bought.
Great Video, very imformative and simple to follow. I did the task with only one F Bomb... When cutting the top for the two pieces to fit together, YOU F bombed... You should cut the top to the gutter going towards the slope, so that the cut is INSIDE the gutter. You left the cut line on the outside and riveted together. I realized the mistake after I made the cut, so one gutter is kinda an eye sore and the other is perfect. I appreciate your video, I feel like a pro now.
Ah man this is so helpful! So concise and straight forward. Living in SoCal and dealing with a house not equipped to handle rain I felt like this was directed towards me haha.
Thanks for the information. I had this job to do on a 24 ft rain gutter and didn't like any of the flimsy factory connectors or the one piece downspouts. Doing the gutter connections and downspouts the way Aaron has shown nets you a better job at less cost. Excellent video.
Again, great job! A couple of things that you forgot to mention: The spacing of the hangers as well as making sure the water that comes down the downspouts is diverted away from the house in some way. Thanks again!
Extremely efficient use of 6 minutes and 56 seconds of time. Short, to the point, and everything is meaningful and helpful. Essential bases covered. Well done!
wow, not only did you help me learn how to install... You also helped me identify some odd tools our grandpa left us. The rivet gun and crimper!!

3) Overlap and use grinder metal cut-off wheel just like video. I use my (10 y/o) $15 Harbor Freight grinder for everything. I get lots of laugh on my job sites at the things I use it on. I have notched 2x4's before. LOL. Be careful of heat and sparks, of course, it is an abrasive type tool. It is well worth it if you don't have one. Metal shears always leave artifact on corners etc. and should be filled down.
4) Galvanized self-tapping metal screws work excellent if you do not have rivet tool. This eliminates the pre drilling of holes..
its very smart how you joint the two gutter pieces together .i like that.thank you

Thanks for sharing your inspiring tips. I cannot find a gutter man and need to DIY.
I LOVE the "f bomb rating" thing! :)
very easy instructions THANK YOU
Agree, best difficulty rating system ever.
Legion of Weirdos yes I agree.....lol
Agree on the rating system. And it seems to be accurate.
I like the lap method which resulted in a strong connection. I just did the cut on the downhill lapped piece to hide the cut even more. It turned out fine.
Thank you so much for this because we are connecting our gutters like you did with out the inserts and this is a good example how to do it Appreciate your video
Thanks for an extremely useful video. I have seen a lot of home improvement videos (a lot) and this one checks all the boxes--clean audio, listenable presenter, tight editing, no wasted time, and unique tips: I much prefer this joining technique to a slip seam. Also, useful to see rivets and self-tapping screws compared side-by-side. I will start sending other DIY UA-camrs to this video as an example. (Maybe not, but conceptually.)
Yep. Clear, concise and to the point with no fluff to stretch the video over the 10 minute mark (I believe longer videos get paid differently)
Great tips, i haven’t installed gutters for a while and that was a great tip on creating a better seam.
You made that seem so easy. But i did see your f bomb shading. Lol😂 Thank you.
Great video. Thank you very much. Hung 2- 17ft gutters without any major issues, saved myself a lot of money.
Clear, short, excellent instructions, actually thinking of home owners who doesn't have all professional tools. 👍👍
Thank you for the directions... quick and straight to that point!!! Happy Holidays!
Great hack for connecting joints and I like the drop in downspouts.
Getting ready to do my first gutter installation. This was very clear and understandable. Thanks!
So glad I found your video. I was struggling with those silly connections for the gutters. Cutting one gutter then sliding them together was an awesome suggestion. Just wish I didn't paint the connections I already bought.
short and to the point. very well done
Just the kind of info and delivery you need for intermediate DIY guys like me. Thanks!
excellent. Nice and quick instructions without a bunch of other fuss. Nice job.
Wow 7 Minute video packed super full with some of the most valuable info!!
Great Video, very imformative and simple to follow. I did the task with only one F Bomb... When cutting the top for the two pieces to fit together, YOU F bombed... You should cut the top to the gutter going towards the slope, so that the cut is INSIDE the gutter. You left the cut line on the outside and riveted together. I realized the mistake after I made the cut, so one gutter is kinda an eye sore and the other is perfect. I appreciate your video, I feel like a pro now.
Ah man this is so helpful! So concise and straight forward. Living in SoCal and dealing with a house not equipped to handle rain I felt like this was directed towards me haha.
Very informative video! Thank you for the "Pro Tips" and breaking it down for me to understand...
Thanks for the information. I had this job to do on a 24 ft rain gutter and didn't like any of the flimsy factory connectors or the one piece downspouts. Doing the gutter connections and downspouts the way Aaron has shown nets you a better job at less cost. Excellent video.
Best video I've seen on this. Just the right amount of info and great pace. Changing gutters this week.
Very straight-forward and easy to comprehend instructions. Thank you!
Good job, straight, clear and concise
Very informative. Definitely a good primer for anyone preparing to install/repair a gutter system. Thank you
Thanks for the great how-to. And I appreciate the comments as well. Looks like a manageable project and so valuable to a homeowner. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Again, great job! A couple of things that you forgot to mention: The spacing of the hangers as well as making sure the water that comes down the downspouts is diverted away from the house in some way. Thanks again!
Very nice! Covered numerous procedures. Made things simple. Very clear and easy to understand. Very useful.
Great stuff! I bought a 10 foot section just to practice on before I go and buy 16 ft sections for my 12x30 Shed. Thanks.
